I shared the LLM traffic page as a comment to this LinkedIn post. It's from the OpenStreetMap project which reports significant damaging traffic levels. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/open-street-map_opendata-osm-openstreetmap-activity-7422084150360408064-ews2

aaronpk I'm getting a permissiondenied error saying that my bot needs to be in the Users group on the wiki. I have never had this as a problem before.
#
capjamesg
I just created a new bot account to see if that would help and it didn't.
#
capjamesg
I'm getting a valid login token from the wiki.
#
aaronpk
weird, i don't know why that would have changed
#
capjamesg
Let me get the full error message...

aaronpk
wait, how are you creating a bot account?
#
aaronpk
i didn't even know about that feature
#
capjamesg
Is it possible for you to add Jamesg.blog@Cali.jamesg.blog to the Users group on the wiki?
#
[artlung]
I noticed it yesterday morning 6am pacific when the bot failed if that gives any hints as to when changes may have occurred.
#
aaronpk
as far as i can tell it's already in that group
